I have an Acer Aspire 5 17" laptop. I like the machine very much, although I have had an issue with it for quite some time now. Most of the time after using it, I will put it into sleep mode, close it until the next time I use it Only on occasion will I power it off after use and re-power it...

I have an Acer Spin 5 14" laptop / tablet combo. I have really enjoyed using it and love the touch screen. The one-year manufacturer's warranty has expired. For the past couple of months, the screen suddenly goes black on me while using it. Then, it sometimes takes a few seconds of banging...

I am certain he has found a way. He is a smart little SOB! I know he is blocking because I am unable to complete the blocking function and he is still able to use it. One way might be to change the wifi network - we have 2. One is a 5.0g and the other is a 2.4g. But I have tried to block...

He knows the 2 networks and corresponding passwords. But I log into our modem and block his devices. He finds a way to block me from doing that. I took a screenshot and attached it here. When I try blocking most devices, it works. When I try blocking ones he is using, I get the screenshot...

This might be a tough question to answer as I have already tried by contacting my ISP and I didn't get very far with their response. As a result of extensive ongoing use of smart phones and other devices, I have been forced to cut down on internet use for my kids. I felt the best way to do...

Would refurbished machines be the way to go?

I have been a windows laptop guy my whole PC life, as has my wife. I am thinking about buying 2 windows desktops for our home, that way we can free up a laptop or two for the kids and have full-sized machines to do a lot of things. As far as the key question about our budget.... well I would...

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.

I have heard a lot of good things about VPNs and how they can be a good way to protect yourself when using public or shared wifi. They can also be helpful when trying to do certain things online using a different 'home location'. I also like the idea of accessing Netflix USA from Canada. I...

What is the CMOS battery? This is a desktop computer I am referring to with this clock issue.

I have had this issue a few times. I have a gmail account and I would like to b able to check mail from other addresses on it. I successfully managed to do so with a couple of accounts. However, I am still struggling to link others to it. I keep getting the following error message: Server...

Can't figure out the problem. I have an Acer Spin 5 laptop. The touchpad has been completely inactive for 4 or 5 days. I went into the touchpad setting in Device Manager and made sure they were active. I rebooted the machine a few times. Nothing. Still the same completely inactive touchpad...

My Windows 7 desktop computer clock keeps changing to an incorrect time frequently. Can anyone advise how to correct the problem?

It's something I do frequently. I save a word document as a PDF. For some reason, it is not working. See the image below. That's what I get when I try. How can I rectify the problem? Thanks...

I am currently shopping for a laptop to replace my Acer Switch 12 inch 2 in 1 that had an i3 processor. It wouldn't boot up one day so I sent it for warranty repair work. They got back to me with a $397.00 gift to replace it. Since I paid $752.00 which included a 3-year warranty and taxes, I...

I just bought a RavPower Super-C Series 26800mAh Portable Charge so that I can re-charge my Acer Switch Alpha 12 laptop/tablet while traveling. I can't seem to get it to work. My Acer states that it's USB-C port can be used for charging. I have tried connecting my new RavPower but it won't...

I bought an Acer Switch Alpha 12 last summer and really like it. The only issue is that the battery life is very limited. I will be traveling for a couple of weeks and not have access to plug it very often during my travels. What would be the best way to increase my usability? Should I buy...
